5 Things I hate about my truck
5 things I love about my truck 
Авто/Мото
Some of this technical info is incorrect and missleading. I have worked at a Chevy Dealership as an Engine Tech for 10 years and currently work at a LS Engine Performance Shop.
1.) Direct Injection has been around for years now, and most if not all manufactures are going over to it. It can provide a significant increase in overall power due to a more accurate spray pattern that is not affected by outside forces from the engine. VW used D.I. on most if not all of their engines and have been for years. Like you said, Buy a Catch Can with a Cleanside Separator. I use one on my 2013 Silverado and a catch can can benefit any engine with a PCV System, not just a DI engine. Every engine can accumulate oil in the intake with a PCV system. Yes, Direct Injection engines do not flow fuel over the intake valves thus cleaning them, so they gum up faster. Any DI engine manufacturer recommends to have the intake cleaned out using a chemical that is sprayed in the intake every 25,000 miles or so. GM does this service for $75.
2.) 0w20, 0w30, and 0w40 oils have been used for a while now. The "0w" part (W = Winter) only effects the oil viscosity when its below a certain temperature. Once above 100 degree's, the 0 weight plays no part anymore. When the oil/engine is cold, it acts as 0 weight to aid in flow when the engine is cold, once above 100 degrees, it acts as 20 weight. New engines these days have very tight and precise clearances that need a very thin oil, such as 0w, to flow into all the bearings when cold. Aluminum engine blocks/heads, when warm, expands allowing for more clearances in certain areas, meaning when the engine is cold, the clearances are at their tightest. This is why new engines need a very thin oil when cold, and a thicker oil when warm.
The increased oil capacity has nothing to do with the oil weight, and is for longer oil change intervals and engine oil cooling. It takes longer for more oil to heat up than a lesser amount. It also allows the oil to cool faster since it takes longer for the oil to go in a "loop" giving it a chance to cool at a faster rate. Greater oil capacities will also go further before needing an oil change. It takes more time for the oil to become contaminated in a larger capacity than a smaller. There is a reason a Big Rig truck uses 8-15 gallons of engine oil and will go 15-20,000 miles before needing an oil change. That oil also goes through harsh cycles pulling 80,000+ lbs GCWR.
Now, as for price. For the 8.5-qt. Engine, I can go to Walmart and buy (2x) 5-qt. jugs (10 qts) of Mobil 1 Extended Performance Full Synthetic 0w20 and Mobil 1 Oil Filter for less than $53 (Each 5-qt. jug is $24 and the filter is $5). For the 6-qt Engine, I can also buy (1x) 5-qt jug, (2x) 1-qt jugs of Mobil 1 Extended Performance Full Synthetic 0w20 and a Oil Filter for $49. Each 1-qt. jug is $10, while the 5-qt. jug is $24. So, the added oil capacity of the 8.5-qt. L83 Engine has a difference of $4, not really a difference at all, and it is always better to have a little extra oil on hand.
3.) GM offers an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller for every truck, it is a factory installed option, and can be ordered with the truck. Like you said, you can add a aftermarket one, such as the Prodigy P3, to your truck and will take you 10 minutes to install. The truck has the included wiring and you just splice them together and mount the controller. My Truck has the Factory OEM Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, known as the JL4 System, and I added a prodigy P3 to use instead. The Factory system did not work with Electric over Hydraulic Brakes. Now the 2014+ models with the JL4 integrated system may work with that now.
4.) The Headlights, well that's all a matter of personal preference. Like you said, you can purchase the higher trim headlights or aftermarket and add it to your truck.
5.) The ride height is pretty much equal to the Ram. Ram 1500 trucks sit pretty low as well. GM designed the truck for arrow dynamics and is what helps you get that "amazing" fuel economy. If you maintain the same tire size and increase the rim size to 20's, your ride quality will worsen. The less sidewall on the tire means less flex or bounce, which gives it more of a springy ride. GM designed these trucks for comfort, fuel economy, towing, and with offroad in mind. They were not intended for crazy pffrpad use out of the box. If you want to increase the ride height without affecting the ride quality to much, look into a Top Gunz 2.5" leveling kit along with a 1.25" taller rear block from Ready Lift. I would not lift the front any higher than 2.5" with a spring spacer kit, it will put to much stress on the 4wd parts such as the cvs causing excessive wear and can/will break. You can always do what I did and lift the truck, I went with a Rancho lift. I have also installed a McGaughys 7-9" adjustable lift on a customers truck befor with 35's. Probably one of the nicest kits I have installed that is well built and not ridiculously overpriced.
Thank you for your input. I appreciate it!
Shaneman20 your welcome man. I hope I didn't come off as a smartass or anything. Just wanted to make sure others knew why GM did what and why
It's all good, man! I wish I knew much more about engines than what I know. Granted, I probably could disassemble a 350 SBC and put it back together pretty easy, but beyond that, I'm still trying to learn the science to everything. A lot of what I had to say was opinion anyways. So, I knew most of that would come. Still, I appreciate the feedback and the education!
Thanks for taking the time to write this out man, it was a really good read
Great read. Been part of GM family all my life.
Good video bud,I have a 2014 sierra 1500 all terrain and it had a horrible stance so I decided to leveled it with a kit from Rough Country for $50 and makes the look a lot more aggressive I believe it's a 2 inch lift and you still keep your factory ride quality.
Wouldn’t change headlights . Just put some LEDs or HIDs . Level kit helps a lot too and looks lovely with a wider tire
I have a 2015 and I love it. Thanks for exposing the misfire issue. I don't have that problem but I know someone with a 2015 Tahoe LTZ with misfiring issues. He's been to the dealer several times and they claim they can't find the problem. GM should've put oil catch cans in all their 5.3 V8's.
I would just be happy to have that truck
Not when you got a $500 a month payment on it and you have to put money into it too
@@miggy4105 got that right after being a lifelong gm guy after my 15 was in the shop 6 times in a year and 2 transmissions in 18 months the last time they fixed it i traded it for a tundra 120k miles not one fucking problem.. not one.
If you want a gm truck get a pre 2007 one with liw mileage.
New..??? Get a tundra
Looks like he’s reading a script or something....
@@polandknight2012 you won't be happy how much it's in the shop.
@@tipsreviews7476 just take care of your truck and you’ll be good
I had a Ford F-150 that went up to 230,000miles before I got rid of it ran great and sold it to a close friend and it’s still driving great. A lot of people really turned me on to the Chevy Silverado so I found a 2014 rally 2 edition which I thought was beautiful so I financed this truck and so far within the first week all 8 fuel injectors had to be replaced there’s a little jump sometimes when I’m driving and the famous Chevy shake is there at 70-80 mph. Have not been to excited about this investment so far I guess time will tell.
My 2015 Silverado with the 5.3 V-8 takes 8 quarts of oil. GM came out with a change stating it only holds 8 quarts. Dealership confirmed it too.
Just traded my 2005 Silverado for a 2014 LT Z71 black regular cab w 72,000 miles. Love this truck. Drives like a dream and looks hotter than a Las Vegas hooker...
Hey brother I own a 2017 silverado I just bought although it is the wt which is very bare bones I still get cruise A/C power windows and locks. And I have the hid high intensity head lights. I am on the same feelings as you in regards to the way the truck sits so low. I am putting in a rough country level kit in the front end next week. Any feed back on the leveling kit? Will it harm anything in front end or change gas mileage drastically? I only have 17 in tires on mine. Also I'm thinking about the whole catch can thing after watching your video thank you for your videos you are good at explaining things.
17 in tires?
My VW has direct injection.. 200k miles and engine is fine. I've personally always felt catch cans are a scam.
I agree completely on all 5 points, I guess with the exception of the integrated trailer brake controller since I ordered my 2016 with the max trailering package, and I heard the headlights on the 14-15 trucks were less than stellar. My '16 LTZ as you know has LED lights all around and they are really impressive. I throughly enjoy your videos and hopefully this weekend I can get my Corsa Sport system on.
Chris Kozel I'm coming around on the refreshed 2016+ trucks. color-matched trim around the headlights makes the difference. And on the exhaust, you will NOT be disappointed.
That was my biggest point of contention when I ordered it. Mine isn't color matched, it's all chrome. The Z71's are matched, plus I wanted the tow mirrors and they can't be had on a Z71.
And I can't wait for the exhaust.
I noticed too that they sit as low as a car and it’s a pickup I think they did that for fuel mileage too make it lower to have less wind drag
its 2 more quarts of oil-thats a gripe? come onnnnnn.
on the headlights-spend 100 bucks and convert to LED. night and day
Add how hard it is to check the air filter. Why bolts? Use clips like everyone else.
I have issues with my pcv vaulve
great video , what brand is the oil catch can and do you have a link for it ? thank you!!
Fix your coking problems by changing out the oil every 3K miles and use full synthetic only.
I'm actually having an issue with the fuel injectors that are causing it to misfire and I currently have a P050D code and it comes and goes so my check engine light is on and off day by day and misfires every other day or so. Do you have an install video for that filter you have in yours from #1?
+Brian Flores Yes, sir! Look for a video called, "First Mod on the Silverado".
But it seems you might want to run fuel injector cleaner first.
Shaneman20 Thanks! So just to be sure you plug the tubes from the intake to the catch can and then back to the engine correct? Or am I missing something?
Brian Flores That's essentially what you're doing. Just make sure you connect them correctly.
There are 2 tubes. One on each side of the intake and engine do I need 2 catch cans?
Brian Flores Nope! Just focus on the PVC going into the intake manifold and just in front of the intake below the throttle body.
Hey the catchcan link isnt working can u recommend another

Why doesn't silverado trucks get wheel well protection like the Sierra does from the factory? You would think as much as these trucks cost they would include them since they rust out big time in the wheel well area.
Joseph P Liptak Jr If you live in the rust belt. Everything will rust.
I own same year. It’s 8 qts even!
Question, do the 4.3 l v6 have the same misfiring issues? That you’d also need a catch can or is that just with the v8’s?
+Anthony Rico I would be willing to say yes. I know a few people with 4.3Ls that have catch cans.
I have 20" Chvey rims on mine and they rub don' like them.
Only make it 3:41 in. Can I have my time back lol. Dude was reading off paper 😂
If you did not like the truck why by the it ?
Mine is slammed 3/5 lowering kit
#1 …. Nearly all GDI vehicles had valve issues with that system.
#2 …. More oil capacity = longer engine life? What? Srsly? You’re complaining?
#3 …. You literally explained the fox to your problem
#4 they are lights…. They are meant to brighten things. They succeed in that capacity. If you want higher trim lights, buy the higher trim. 👍 Amazing.
#5 My 2014 Z71 1500 sits higher than my 2017 Ram 1500.
Are we sure this is a video pointing out flaws? Lol 😂
Having owned fords, Toyotas, multiple dodges…. My 2014 Z71 4x4 is by far my favorite. GM made a great workhorse.
Oh and BTW I get 24 mpg highway with a 320 horsepower extended cab half ton truck….
Come on man. It’s a fantastic vehicle lol.
Drove Chevy my entire life and the V4 fuel management system is what killed it for me. Only had 2 trucks...a 69 C10 I drove for 7 years and a 2001 stepside Silverado I drove for 13 years. My dad still drives his 1988 S10 he bought NEW in fall 1987. Unfortunately truck #3 had to be something different because GM ruined the 5.3 with that stupid V4 bullshit. So for the first time I bought a Ford...2011 4x4 supercrew with the 5.0 V8. It runs on all 8 cylinders all the time and gets 19mpg just running around in it and almost 22 on the highway. I am quite surprised and shocked how nice that damn 5.0 engine is. Now my point is if my Ford can get that good fuel mileage there is NO REASON the Chevy 5.3 can’t do the same and dump the V4 stupidity. The 5.3 was a fantastic engine and my 2001 model still runs like a champ
JohnnyRebKy I was thinking the same thing! My 2013 f-150 single cab 5.0 gets about 23-24 highway. My friends single cab Chevy has that cylinder deactivation and doesn’t get any better mileage than me. Plus the power difference is noticeable (in the 5.0’s favor)
I have this same truck, but as a Crew Cab, and what I hate the most about it were the steps. It's like there tucked underneath the truck and it makes getting off the truck pretty hard. I took them off and had the Amp Research steps Installed and it's on a 7" suspension lift. I love the inside of the truck, but had to get rims and bigger tires to give my truck that aggressive look.
Add cricket noise and edit hard. It could be a decent video but you screwed it up.
the 5.3's power is terrible comared to thr 5.7 hemi and 5.0
always change your oil
I'm sure you still have your truck today, dude.
Are you reading from wikkapeadia
I love chevy silverado 2014
And this concludes today's story time.
first of all, the GMC is the better looking truck. second, get over the GDI. everyone is using one now. you think the gm is bad, the ford ecotech motors will burn up the turbo if you try to clean it. VW and audi are the only 2 companies actually having problems.
I thought this was my comment at first haha
Agreed! Man these truck are sharp looking for sure. I wonder what they are going to do for the next body update.
LOL 22" or 18" wheels it wont make your truck higher or lower because the tire u put on the rim all will end up same high 32" +/- 0.125" on standard size LOL make more research.
I do stand corrected. I guess when I think of wheels, I think of rims and tires both.
I don't get why everyone is getting triggered over the opinions in this video. It's not "why the Silverado sucks" it's, "how they can make it even better".
Tempestt it’s the guy that made the video. He should drive a Honda
@@zoobrizz naw he said he loves the truck but has gripes about some of the features. Nothing wrong with that snowflake
You love everything about it
What are you reading? Is it from google?
Too bad the headlights are like $1000. smh
So no "chevy shake"?
MadBasstv Surprisingly, no. No "Chevy Shake". Very smooth driving truck.
Chevy shake only happens on shorter wheelbase trucks.
Thise trucks only take 8qts of oil
I love love love my 2014 Silverado 1500!
Do you still own the truck...if u do update
Yes I do. It has a massive cam.
What size...and what made u go with the double cab..i was looking at them
@@shaneman20 you can it I have the 6.2 with corsa sport with momentum gt scared to go cam I fell it will only become a weekend truck
Dude everything you complain about is same on any brand truck, of course base models gonna be different than loaded ones so I don't see anything wrong with your truck , you just made the wrong choice on trim level.
Basically.
Boz Kurt .lol you are absolutely correct!
That the bank owns it and you dont?
That I have good credit and you don't?
Is he reading this off the internet?
Well, I wrote everything down. People still do that...
@@shaneman20 legend has it shaneman20 is still writing till this very day.
8 qts not 8.5
The build up your talking about can be taken care of with what is called Top Tier Fuel, even premium gas! That they say you don't need, but most Top Tier premium fuels have more or better anti deposit additives! Also you description of the foul injection system and how it works. But they way you described the way the injectors inject the fuel into the intake manifold is the old way, but direct injection is exactly what it says, the injectors are built into the combustion chamber in the head to inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber, so that is why the crankcase fumes will have an effect on the valves, cause the fuel never touches the intake valves anymore cause the fuel goes directly into the combustion chamber!!! The amount of oil now in the engine is not there because of the weight of oil, but to help cool the engine cause of the added heat with the extra power GM has engineered out of it with DI and higher compression, so your able to use regular fuel! As far as the headlights go, just get better aftermarket bulbs!!!one more thing, wheels do NOT make the truck or any vehicle sit higher! Only bigger tires or lifted suspension does that!
I try to run top tier as best as I can. There's a local CountryMark that has it, but I do run 87 and very rarely run much else. I have ran E85 through this truck a couple times, and it runs good and I'd like to run it a lot more, but just to get it and the mileage is the killer in running it more often. And also on the wheels, I do stand corrected on that. When I think of wheels, I sometimes think of both rims and tires. But case in point, there's a 2016 Silverado where I work at that has the 22s and running Michelins on it. Can't remember what size, but rim/tire combo can make a difference. When I said that, I had in my mind OEM stuff. So, if you buy these from the dealer and get whatever the dealer slaps on, it is a slightly raised height.
Height is only influenced by tire size, mostly with what is called aspect ratio. That's is second number is say 265/70/16. Number 265 is the mm in width, the number 70, means the sidewall of the tire is 70% as high as the width of the tire that tells you how high the tire is!!
That explains a lot. Every other place I've tried to find to explain the middle number has had me all jacked up. But I do stand corrected. Again, I was thinking OEM instead of aftermarket, and even then, you can put on whatever tire which would equal out. Not claiming that I didn't know that, but I explained it poorly. My bad! Learn something new every day.
Only thing i hate your truck man is the Tires the truck i have is a god
I hate videos about what someone else hates about their car or truck.
Yet, here you are. On the type of video you despise.
First 30 seconds in the video "I love everything about this truck" then ten seconds later "here are the things I hate about this truck" lol done
OSDCrusher “but they are some downfalls”
Build a better one and stamp your name on wtf 😂😂
You crazy
Dude, some advice: Either invest in a teleprompter or use only video other than your face when reading your written copy.
Why the fuck does Dwight Schrute own a RUclips channel?
i bought a 2014 chevy 1500 silverado brand new with 5 miles on it ......Today I'm in need of a transmission, 170k miles later....be thankful kid....
? I had an ‘03 Silverado 1500 and I didn’t need to replace the transmission until around 328k miles later. Take better care of your truck
I have never replaced transmissions, what are you doing or not doing?
This guy sounds like a little city slicker snowflake. Mommy should have bought him a Honda Rigeline
😂😂😂😂😂
Its so cool to look at his forehead while he reads to us.
Clifford Winston That forehead life tho.
No truck is perfect
Súper conflicting message

I also wear cheap shirts from Walmart or from Amazon. Only because people that work hard don't want to get expensive clothing dirty
I had a 2013 z71. Got it new never put it in mud & at 111k miles the transmission & transfer case went out at the same time. don't buy gm products.
Damn.. can't believe I accidentally clicked on this video again.
Damn.. can't believe you accidentally left a comment on this video again.
Not a single valid point
click bait title, waste of time.
Toyota don't need catch cans. How dumb.
Chevy don't either.
My 14 has almost 80k miles, never had a catch can on it. It's too cold to install one and would end up freezing anyways 9 months out of the year. No oil consumption, no misfires, etc. It's not really that necessary and it's all stemming from fears of past GDI engines.
I would buy a Kia before I get a GM or dodge. That's sad
Are you fucking kidding me with this?
You tell me. You seem like you're offended though.
Shaneman20 you have more dislikes than likes, that should tell you something.
@@rexb16 No, that should tell YOU something since you asked.
This guy looks like a car max repair tech giving his two cents on some UFO conspiracy theory... I think you need to do more research before you explode on one of the best made trucks around.
Ford all day. GM vehicles are good the first 40k miles. Dodge vehicles are good sitting on the dealership parking lot. I crack myself up 😂
